The Best Bowlers
Come From California
by Fred Eisenhammer
OXNARD — At the top
of the California United
States Bowling Congress
website is a prominent slogan. It reads:
“The best bowlers come
from California.”
If you live in the “City
of Angels,” you’d like to
think so.
One thing is sure.
When the Professional
Bowlers Assn. held a tournament a while back at
now-defunct Tournament
Bowl in Oxnard, that statement was certainly true.
The tournament was
held Oct. 7-10, 1965.
That was 50 years ago
and California bowlers
ruled the roost in that competition, which was called
the Oxnard Open.
Even though out-ofstater and eventual Hallof-Famer Johnny Guenther
of Seattle won the event –
his first PBA tournament

dominated the competition.
Twelve of the top 27 finishers hailed from California.
The best known of the
Californians was seventhplace finisher Glenn Allison of Brea. He was the
second-highest California
finisher behind Jim Godman of Hayward, who took
third place.
Allison later turned
in one of bowling’s most
spectacular performances.

IT’S EMAD ARANKI’S WEEK AT LAS VEGAS AS DSBA CLASSIC CHAMPION
The way Emad Aranki was bowling during Deaf Senior Bowlers of America Tournament, scoring way over his 150
entering average along with his 48 handicap, no one had a chance to beat him. In the DSBA Classic Top 16 Bowlers
Match Play event, Aranki had qualified in 3rd place and won all his 6 matches without a loss. His 6 games were 169192-179-202-190-194 and add his 48 handicap to each score helped him.
In the championship match Aranki was against Wayne Berke ( ) who had 175 average and 28 handicap. Berke
qualified in 7th place and lost his first match with a 137 but won his next 5 matches scoring 190-193-214-190-194. In
winning the title Aranki scored his best game of the day 204 as Berke rolled a 190. Congratulations to Emad Aranki as
DSBA 19th Classic Champion.
Top qualifier Floyd Carpenter had two losses and was eliminated in 2nd round.
Thanks to all bowlers for a successful tournament. Next year’s DSBA tournament will be on first week in October.
Todd Becker Finds A Perfect
Ending For His Series
by Fred Eisenhammer
WINNETKA – Sometimes bowlers will pick the most
unexpected times to pop a big game.
Just ask Todd Becker.
Becker, a 50-year-old Woodland Hills resident, slumbered through games of 162 and 160 earlier this month in
his River Maniacs league at Winnetka Bowl. “They were
in the toilet,” recalled Becker a week later.
Then in Game 3, Becker got hot. Real hot.
As Becker remembered, he “found his line and it kept
working” – all the way to a 300 game, the first of his career. Becker’s perfect game broke his previous high of
279.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Becker said. “After bowling my
second game, I was ready to pack it in.”
Becker disclosed that he was focusing so much in the
third game that he wasn’t even aware of his unfolding 300.
“I knew it was at least in the high 200s,” he said. “I knew
I had a good game.”
Becker entered the Monday night league competition
with a 179 average and a career high series of 701. He said
he had been bowling since he was 10 and one of his goals
was to rack up a 300.
“It took 40 years for me to get my first 300,” Becker
said. “[Colleague] Vince [Koeller] said it took him 40
years to get his first 300. It shows it could happen to anyone.”
Becker got a raucous reaction from approximately half
the bowling center after he drilled his final shot. First to
congratulate Becker was 13-time perfect-game marksman Mike Olson, who had crept behind Becker on his approach.
“Mike was already in my lane after I released it,” said
Becker, chuckling. “He was right in my face.”
Said Olson: “He buried his last two shots.”
Then Olson turned to Becker: “You don’t even remember. Your mind is probably blank.”
Becker just smiled.
“Bowling has always been my passion,” Becker said. “I
can be sick as a dog and I’ll go bowling. I never miss.”
Becker said the closest he previously got to a 300 was
when he nailed his first nine shots.
As for his goals now, Becker said:
“I want an 800. I’d like a double [back-to-back 300s],
but that’s a bitch. So I want an 800.”
Editors Note: The Ol’ 600 without a 200!!

This Week Nov. 25-26-27-28 • $10,000 1ST W/ BONUSES
MONTCLAIR — We
were hosted by one of the
finest, the Bowlium and
we had lots of fun and excitement there. One of our
faithful members Joven
Bolanos got hot and won
his first ABTA Title in fine
style downing top seed
Norma Gaddison in the title
game taking home a nice
$2,400 in the process.
Others bowling well
making the top 16 Finals
were 10-16th Emily Yeung,
Isaac Arsenault, Christina
Cheung, Kmel Cunanan,
Darrow Tiongco , Ramon
Alliman, and Jo Jo Barcelona, $100 each.
In 6-9th places were
Jeff Panlilio, Jun Contreras, Lord Ferguson, and Fel
Garcia $110 each. Now,a
step higher in 4th and 5th
were
Christina Cheung
and Michael Kristich, $110
each.
Now it was Joven Bolanos vs John Armenia for
the right to bowl Mrs Gaddison for the title. Joven
did well in a big 233-207
count. Mr. Armenia ever
a gentleman was 3rd with
fine bowling got a check
for $200.
Now title game was on
Norma Gaddisonvs Bolanos, with Norma electing to
have Joven lead off. He did
with a “3 bagger”, Norma
was Strike, Spare, Strike
but she opened in frame 4
then chopped the 1-2. With
a spare Bolanos now led
by 30 pins. Both bowlers were clean the rest of
the way. Norma could not
catch a break. The margin
stayed the same s after the
first three frames, and Bolanos claimed his 5th Title.
He has been with ABTA
over 20+ Years. We were
both younger then Joven :-)
Joven bowled well, and deserved the win. Norma Gaddsion nearly took her first
title, as she bowled lights
out at Bowlium. Only that
open in frame two plagued
her title run. Very Good
Bowling By a Nice Lady!
She took home a nice $500
Check!
Joven Bolanos hails
from Tustin, and used his
Roto Grip drilled by Barry
Asher. He is single ladies!!
Joven is one of the Good
Guys! Congrats Champ!!
Joven was the Horse bet
winner and paid $35 to his
faithful who bet on him at
Bowlium.
Norma Gaddsion is
from San Dimas, married
to Eddie with a very pretty
daughter Jillian! All are
ABTA Members and great
people. Great bowling Norma! She used a Vibe drilled
by ABTA member Aarik
Torres at Covina Bowl.
Johnny Armenia is from
Orange and used a Hammer also drilled by Barry
Asher!. He’s happily married to Connie with four
Kids!! Nice
Bowling
John. He surely loves the
Bowlium.
Howard Smith and Bob
Selner hit the Mystery Doubles with a nice 351 drawn
by Lady HQ. Sylvia Serrano Howard getting $304
and Bob $75/ 25% as this
is his first entry in ABTA as
left hander! The Match Series of $2,045 carries over
as Ramon Alliman drew an
unmatched 392.
We estimate that pot at
$4,500. The Match Game
worth $4,355 was a 228
drawn by Norma Gaddison.
With the carry over $4,355
it will go for the Max this
weekend of $5,000 with
remainder as a back up pot
reserve!
The 3-6-9 which will
be $900 as Kmel Cunanan,
and Vuong Do shared a
$100 consolation, missing
on shot #4.
Thanks to all who
bowled and Special Thank
YOU to the super owner
and staff at the Bowlium as
they are as good as it gets.

match play bowled on the PBA’s Cheetah, Viper, Chameleon, Scorpion and World Championship lane conditions Dec 8-13.
The opening line odds for wagering on the World Championship are as follows, as of

MGM Resorts International based on performances in past PBA World Championships
and PBA Tour competition in recent years. Based on that information, Rood has established Australia’s Jason Belmonte, the winner of four major titles over the past two years,
as a 7/2 favorite in the opening line followed by Bill O’Neill at 9/2, Wes Malott at 5/1
and Sean Rash at 7/1. Rood also has established Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts,
who will be bowling PBA competition for the first time, as a 200/1 longshot.
The opening line includes:
Jason Belmonte 7/2

Mario Jordan Finding
His Mark Again
by Fred Eisenhammer
WINNETKA – Mario Jordan doesn’t hurl his bowling
ball as fast as he once did and his average isn’t hovering in
the 180s and 190s anymore.
No matter.
Jordan celebrates every day he’s out at Winnetka Bowl
taking part in his nightly leagues on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Jordan suffered a stroke in November 2012 when he
was in the midst of teaching art at Manual Arts High
School in south-central Los Angeles.
“I went in that morning and the last thing I remember
was that students were coming to class. Then I woke up in
the afternoon,” Jordan said.
Jordan was found to have a blood clot on the right side
of his brain. With treatment and rehab, the 63-year-old
Jordan says he “feels good now.”
He’s back on the lanes this year – a joyful re-engagement with a sport in which he’s participated since his days
in Kansas City in the 1980s.
“That’s all I talked about when I was away from the
bowling alley,” Jordan said. “During my doctor visits, I’d
say, ‘I can’t wait ’til I get back out there.’ It was one of
my incentives to get healthy again. Bowling is my incentive.”
In recent years, the right-handed marksman has typically averaged at least in the 180s. But in 2006 – the year
when he moved to L.A. from Missouri – Jordan carved out
an even 200 average in the Friday Vegas League at Winnetka Bowl.
That’s been his high-water mark.
Following its extensive coverage of the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling VII presented by Silver Legacy, Dec.
7-17, from the National Bowling Stadium in Reno, the XF team will head to Tokyo to provide exclusive live coverage
of the DHC PBA Japan Invitational, Friday, Jan. 15 through Sunday, Jan. 17. The tournament, featuring a field of 16
international and 16 Japanese professional stars, offers a PBA Tour title and a $40,000 first prize. Chris Barnes is defending champion.
The DHC tournament will kick off a power-house schedule of live Xtra Frame programming for 2016, including
preliminary rounds of the FireLake PBA Tournament of Champions and PBA Hall of Fame ceremonies from Shawnee,
Okla., Jan. 30-Feb. 6; qualifying and match play rounds of the USBC Masters from Indianapolis, Feb. 9-13, and the
qualifying and match play rounds of the Barbasol PBA Players Championship from Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 16-19.
Bowling fans can sample Xtra Frame on a three-day (72-hour) basis for only $3.99, purchase a 30-day subscription
for $7.99, or sign up for PBA $B!G (Bs best package (and a great Christmas gift idea $B!D (B), the 12-month XF Season
Ticket for $64.99, or $5.41 per month. For complete details, visit pba.com and click on the Xtra Frame link.
Jordan is averaging in the 140s this season as he makes
adjustments in his effort to return to his previous form.
“He had to buy a new ball so he could hold it,” recalled
Jordan’s wife, Delores. “He’s working his way back now.
And that’s a good thing. Maybe by next year, he’ll be back
to the 200 mark.”
QATAR, SAUDI ARABIA EVENTS PRECEDE GEICO PBA WSOB VII
Already, he’s blasted a season-high 190 game a few
weeks ago. His all-time high is 289 – “I blew it in the
tenth,” he remembers. And he has a 700 series on his resume – that coming during a team tournament in Missouri
in the ’90s that earned him a $1,200 bonanza.
Two PBA International-World Bowling Tour events will provide the final tuneup for players heading into the GEICO
PBA World Series of Bowling VII presented by Silver Legacy in Reno Dec. 7-19.
The PBA International-World Bowling Tour Qatar Open will be held at Qatar Bowling Center in Doha, Qatar, Nov.
21-27, followed by the PBA International-World Bowling Tour 9th Kingdom International Open at Universal Bowling
Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 28-Dec. 2.
England $B!G (Bs Dom Barrett is defending Qatar Open champion and Marshall Kent of Yakima, Wash., is defending
Kingdom International Open champion. . Both events will award PBA Tour titles if the champion is a PBA member.
PBA REGIONAL UPDATE: WARREN CLOSES IN ON WEBER WITH 44TH PBA REGIONAL TITLE
Chris Warren of Grants Pass, Ore., defeated Nathan Bohr of Amarillo, Texas, 222-205, to win $3,500 and his 44th
PBA Regional title in the second annual PBA Harmony Lanes Southwest Open, presented by Budweiser, in Colorado
Springs Sunday.
The 52-year-old Warren, who ranks second on the all-time PBA Regional titles list, is four behind PBA Hall of Famer
Pete Weber $B!G (Bs record 48 titles.
Warren struck out in the 10th frame to secure his 45th overall regional title (he also has one PBA50 regional win).
Weber and Dale Traber of Cedarburg, Wis., are tied for the lead in overall PBA Regional titles with 52 each. In addition
to 48 standard titles, Weber has won four PBA50 regionals while Traber has 39 standard and 13 PBA50 regional wins.
As qualifying leader, Warren earned byes to the best-two-of-three-game Round of 8 where he defeated Frank Guccione of Castle Rock, Colo., 2-0. He then disposed of Kris Koeltzow of Wheat Ridge, Colo., 252-178, in the semifinal
round. Bohr defeated amateur Cody Vaughn from Arvada, Colo., 2-1, in the Round of 12; Wayne Stellick from Arvada,
Colo., 2-0 in the Round of 8, and Jason Duran of Greely, Colo., 233-227, in his semifinal match.

Responded Jordan: “I’m working on it.”
And he added: “Ultimately I want to be back where I
was before the stroke.”
Jordan says he’s fortunate that he bowls with “a good
group of folks in both leagues.” He admits that he still
experiences some stroke-related moments – “I get a little
tired by the third game and I don’t bowl as well.”
But all in all, things are going well in his comeback.
And how much does he enjoy the game?
“Heck, I can’t get out there fast enough,” he said.
Mario Jordan is finding his groove again after suffering a
stroke three years ago.

When bowlers speak of Toni you hear adjectives such
as efficient, effective, impartial, informed and responsive.
The Good Times League bowlers will tell you that Toni
is personally responsible for keeping the league together
over the years. It should be noted that Toni was selected
for this award from a field of thirty-eight nominees. Impressive. I was impressed when told that she was selected
from such a large field worthy candidates. I have been a

a decade. I have observed hundreds of league secretaries

BURBANK — I have so much for which to be thankful!
My outrageously wonderful family. Bowling. My funny, delightful and loyal friends. Bowling. My co workers who frustrate and elate me all at once. Bowling. My husband who
has walked through the fire with me. Bowling. Having the
privilege to guide the NLAC. Bowling. Tournaments where
I meet so many lovely people and make new friends. Bowling. My health, my eyesight, my hearing. Bowling.
I wish all of my family of readers a very Happy Thanksgiving and a coming year of which there is much to be
thankful. Oh, and did I mention, I’m thankful for Bowling?

This will be the third year for a deep fried turkey for me.
It sounds sacrilegious but it is delish! Have fun and be safe
this holiday. Until next time...keep the ball rollin’!
BEST BOWLERS continued from page 1
In that 1965 Oxnard Open, Bud Horn of Los Angeles
(eighth) and Norm Meyers of Los Angeles (10th) gave
California four finishers among the top 10.
There were plenty more California money winners in
the event. Right behind Meyers were three Californians.
Bob Phillips of Richmond took 11th, Jim St. John of San
Jose was 12th and Ev Collins of San Mateo placed 13th.
Also winning money from California were Vig Lange
of Ventura (17th), Ed Bourdase of Fresno (18th), Ron
Winger of Van Nuys (19th), Wally Wagner of Brea (23rd)
and Jerry Hale of Richmond (27th).
Incidentally, the state with the next highest number of
money winners behind California was Texas with five.
Guenther earned $3,000 for his first-place finish. Not
only did he take home the top prize but Guenther set two
world records in the Oxnard Open. He rolled 2,022 for
one eight-game block (252.8 average) and came back with
a 1,808 for a 16-game total of 3,830 (239.4).
Still, Guenther had to share tournament laurels with the
state of California, which showed in this competition that
it indeed possessed the nation’s “best bowlers.”
